Your face is a delicate tapestry that can express your level of both outer and inner self-confidence. When you’re unhappy with your facial appearance, your self-image may suffer, producing inhibitions that can negatively affect your relationships, career and social interactions.
As we age, the bone structure and soft tissue in our face begins to change, often creating an increasingly different appearance. The visible signs of aging are inevitable, but the tools to reverse those signs are more advanced and affordable than ever before.
Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery aspires to enhance these issues and bring you back to a stronger, more confident state of being. Whether you wish to correct a deformity or simply adjust elements of your facial appearance for purely aesthetic purposes, you should choose a surgeon with the necessary level of training, skill and experience to truly enhance your face value.
Facial plastic surgeons are specialists within a specialty. From the day our physicians began their medical practice and completed their residency, all the way through their current day-to-day practice, their only focus has been on surgery of the head and neck. Where your face is concerned, you deserve to have the most specialized facial plastic experts available. You can depend on our facial plastic specialists at Watson Clinic. A list of their services, include:
Surgical and Reconstructive Procedures:
- Blepharoplasty (Eyelift) - The removal of excess fat and skin from the upper and lower eyelids to correct a droopy or puffy appearance that often makes one look tired and, in some cases, obscures peripheral vision.
- Rhytidectomy (Facelift) - The removal of excess skin with tightening of underlying tissues from the lower face and neck region, thus helping to reverse the effects of aging.
- Otoplasty (Ear Repositioning) - Surgery performed to pin back protruding ears by reshaping the cartilage.
- Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping) - One of the most common of all facial plastic procedures, it involves reshaping the nose, whether it be the bridge, tip or nostrils. This procedure can result in a more balanced appearance and can also improve breathing.
- Skin Cancer Reconstructive Surgery - Excision and reconstruction of facial skin cancers with the use of skin flaps or skin grafts to help conceal cancer defects or previous scars.
- Brow/Forehead lift - The tightening of loose skin and removal of excess skin helps to modify the forehead wrinkling and drooping brows.
Cosmetic Enhancement Treatments:
- Laser Hair/Vein Removal - Long-term hair reduction and spider vein treatment is achieved through the latest in laser energy technology.
- Microdermabrasion - This procedure utilizes fine grains to buff away the top layer of skin, resulting in a healthier and fresher look, often devoid of blemishes or sunspots.
- Chemical Peels - The damaged outer layers of your skin are gently removed using a chemical solution, resulting in a vastly improved appearance and texture. This treatment is especially helpful for individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven pigmentation.
- Facials - This relaxing treatment helps maintain the health of the skin and correct certain conditions through deep cleansing, massage, masking and serums. Recommendations are given for home care also.
- Radiesse - This easy, safe and convenient cosmetic dermal filler corrects facial lines and wrinkles and restores a natural and youthful look.
- Restylane - These injectable gels are referred to as facial fillers and can restore skin volume, enhance softness and revitalize appearance. They are also used for lip augmentation and enhancement.
- Botox - A simple, non-surgical treatment that smoothes out moderate to severe expression or frown lines around the eyes, between the eyebrows or forehead area. One 10-minute treatment can result in a remarkable improvement that can last up to 4 months.
- Laser Skin Resurfacing - This procedure is used to resurface facial skin with wrinkles caused by excess sun exposure, "crow's feet," and acne scarring.
- Fraxel Laser Technology - Fraxel corrects years of sun damage, wrinkles and other signs of aging, inspiring remarkable results with a minimum amount of recovery time.
